“After three weeks he was pushing because he was so strong,” Jennifer Bolt told journalists in Rio.



“One day, I left him on the bed and when I came back he was close to falling off, so from here I was saying, ‘What kind of child he is?” she recalled. By the age of 12, Bolt was the fastest in his school. “He was always on top,” she said.
